I presume the commission charged by each is the same or approximately the same, so it is basically a matter of choice by the seller which they list with. The haggle room is the same as anyplace else - you offer what you think it is worth, and the seller can accept, or counter. Here is some sales data from Lyle Gant's website: http://www.lylesellsfla.com/frame.sh...b0df7c2e32.pdf

I suppose sales figures could be found for the Villages, but my sense is that more homes are sold by Villages realtors, than by MLS, just because they have the advantage of being on-site, and available, plus they are assigned to everyone on lifestyle previews.

Very good info
